So I'm beginning to collect my death guard army. I've settled on two choices of 2k lists. My army goal is to have a low model count and target saturation. Which is split between flying in your DPs and a strong backline with heavy firepower. One list is more heavily themed in this way with mortarion, the other has more dreads and stronger troop choices.
I'll likely collect the models to field both lists and more eventually but need to pick one to focus on for now. So here are the lists..

Psychic powers are something I'm still deciding for who gets what, the idea is basically though keep a guy in the back for the re rolls while the DPs rush up and do damage.
